Default Prefered choice for hid kits??

I have a friend who drives a 06 is250 and I want to get her a good hid kit where down the road things wont go bad and I wont look like the ******* who made her spend money on things that break. What is the prefered hid kit most of you guys go with? and what are the prices? thanks

I just purchased and installed the McCulloch kit and love it! I went with the 8000K, but wish I would've gone with 6000K. The 8 is just a little too "blue" for me. I love the look, but you can definetly tell it is after-market. I think 6000K looks much more like OEM with still a hint of the "blue" look IMO.

I was getting ready to purchase the Oracle kit (from Justin at http://www.aacstyle.com) but ended up finding a brand new McCulloch kit on eBay for $100. Can't beat that with a stick! (by the way, Justin from AAC Style is the dude! He gave me so much valuable info - I felt terrible not purchasing from him, but gotta stretch my playing "mod" $$ as far as possible)

Installation was a snap! Could not have been any easier. The hardest part was finding a place to stash the ballast and igniter. Make sure you check out this thread for installation: http://my.is/forums/f154/tutorial-ho...50-pics-335885 Although this post will show stripping and soldering wires, my kit was PnP with the H11 bulb harness. Nevertheless, thumbs up to SophieSleeps for the great post!

Good luck with the install! Feel free to PM me if you have any other question about the McC kit.

I just bought $60 HIDs from a vendor that sells on CL. They shipped 2 hours after I ordered. Waterproof too.

For a quality kit, I can highly recommend AACStyle's Oracle HID system. I have the 6000K low-beam bulbs, 6000K fog-light HID, and 8000K Halos from those guys. Excellent stuff! Plus, they're super helpful... if you have any questions they're happy to help you out.

Another vote for DDMtuning, or anyone else
Been using them for a long time and if you don't mind the relatively poor customer service, you'll appreciate the prices and rock solid kits. They also have lifetime warranties

Why pay more for fancy packaging and advertising and brand promotion?

DDMtuning for me. I live like 5 minutes away from them. Plus you can't go wrong with $60 dollar kit with lifetime warranty.

Been running for about 1 year, no problem so far.
